Vicarage Road opens the Championship season with a meeting of two ambitious sides arriving from very different summers. Un Watford a corrente alternata Watford closed pre-season with mixed results: a 3-0 over Hansa Rostock and a 1-0 against Crawley Town, but also a 2-1 defeat to Boreham Wood and a 2-2 draw at Barnet. Against Fiorentina came a narrow loss. Un Southampton che ha vinto tutto in estate Southampton won all four friendlies played, scoring eight and conceding two: 2-0 at Colchester, 2-1 at Münster, 1-0 at Braunschweig and 3-1 at Eastleigh. A preparation without a slip, even if against lower-tier opposition. Il verdetto: the call asks for at least one away goal. Southampton have scored in all five of the last head-to-heads with Watford and in each of their four summer outings; an opening round always carries uncertainty, but the figure is very solid. The estimate is around 89%, in line with confidence 7. La mia lettura: Southampton have scoring continuity and face a side that conceded often this summer, so the goal should come.
